Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

mark reed had the 90# at KP7 all that i remember was that it was noticeably thinner than LPG (looked more like 50) and two different colors he mentioned that it is a lot stronger also.. i didnt actually get touchy feely with it though

Regardless of any marketing claims, I've always found thinner line less slippery than thicker. I read an explanation of this somewhere, but it has to do with the braid, I believe. If there is a line as thin as 50# and as slippery as 90, I'd be impressed.

I'd also think thinner would be a trade off in either strength or elasticity. How stretchy is that super thin "90#" line?

Maybe its a miracle fiber? If so, why isn't LaserPro marketing it direct?

I'm all for new linesets, and I don't think Mark is full of it, it's just that spectra has been an area of so much marketing hype since the beginning of (kite) time, that I'm skeptical.

Up to this point the majority of all lines sport kite flyers have been using, have been a single hollow braid spectra weave. With the exception of the early kevlar core dacron braided line from the 90's. Someone mentioned putting a second braided core into spectra could add strength while reducing diameter, over on Kitebuilder not too long ago. I'm wondering if they have started to use that technology in their lines.
